Hi everyone,

it has been a while since I posted my last mini. But here is a paint job I did for a friend of mine. I hope you like it. Feedback is well appreciated.

I love the detail on the banner. He looks good, but I honestly think his eyes look huge and cartoony.

I love this soooooooo much!

I think that his eyes are very good and proportional to the model. It looks very nice! I would love to own this model. The highlighting is spot on. One thing, for your base coats, you may want to thin or water down the paints just a tad..Nothing drastic, but it would give your models a smother tone. By all means I am not saying this is bad, it is quite great!

I really like the blues on the model

Nice, he doesn't look so mean when he is not a Red Corsair.

Very Impressive!

I think this is a really good job!

Hi everyone,

thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

I tried to achieve a look like a spiral galaxy on the banner. Painting Eyes is always difficult. I never managed to paint them the way they should be. Perhaps I'll make it in the future.

I water down the paints but I always have some difficulties painting metallics and flesh tones. I'll try better next time.

I like the colours on this guy and the face is done really well. The eyes are a good size too, I wouldn't go about changing them.

really like this model, hope this doesn't offend but i can't help looking at the face and think "he looks like Jim Carrey worrying about something coming up behind him"

love the face, looks alive

Looks great! I do think the face looks a bit like the guy from army of darkness.

"Jim Carrey" and "the Guy from army of darkness". This is great. Never thought about them, but perhaps your right.

I like it very crisp a clean.
